– I assume you know how to create an SSH session in MobaXterm, if not – that’s a different set of instructions. Go to “Advanced SSH Settings” 3. Click the box for “Use private key” and choose the file you saved earlier when creating the private key. SSH into your GCE, as the user you created. SU to root as needed. SSH Key generation and login: MobaXterm version National Institutes of Natural Sciences. Click to generate key (after the click, move mouse cursor around for a while). Public key can be restored from the private key; try “Load” button. Register Public Key. This post illustrates how you do it with MobaXterm. Before using ssh, MobaXterm requires a persistent home directory. Go to Settings and set the persistent home directory. First step is to generate the ssh key, therefore open a local terminal and generate a key (rsa) with this command: ssh-keygen -t rsa The output. Generating public/private rsa key pair. Open a terminal and generate your public and private key, as follows (replace the e-mail address with your own): $ ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 2048 -C '[email protected]' -f /.ssh/idrsajasmin At the prompt, type a secure passphrase to protect your SSH private key. Open a terminal and generate your public and private key, as follows (replace the e-mail address with your own): $ ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 2048 -C '[email protected]' -f /.ssh/idrsajasmin At the prompt, type a secure passphrase to protect your SSH private key.

If using PuTTY or MobaXTerm the process of generating a key is nearly the same with only minor differences. In MobaXTerm go to the Tools->MobaKeyGen (SSH key generator), and with PuTTY run the PuTTYGen executable both of these methods will result in displaying a very similar window which can be used to generate or load an existing key.
- Click the 'Generate' button. You will then be asked to move your mouse around to generate random data to be used to create the key.
- Enter a passphrase for your key.
- Click the 'Save private key' button and choose a meaningful file name (e.g. compute_canada.ppk).
- Add the public key from the text box under 'Public key for pasting into OpenSSH authorized_keys', by copying and pasting it, as a single line to the end of the
/home/USERNAME/.ssh/authorized_keys
on the server you wish to connect to as the userUSERNAME
with WinSCP or an editor launched from that server such as vim or nano. - Ensure directory, file permissions are correct and have the correct owner as described in steps 2 and 3 of these instructions.
- Test the new key by connecting to the server as
USERNAME
using ssh (see connecting with PuTTY using a key pair or connecting with MobaXTerm using a key pair).
Key generation and usage is demonstrated in this youtube video with PuTTY: Easily setup PuTTY SSH keys for passwordless logins using Pageant.
When a key is created on OpenStack you obtain a key with a '.pem' extension. This key can be converted to a format used by PuTTY by clicking the 'Load' button in PuTTYGen. Then select the 'All Files (*.*)' filter and select your '.pem' file downloaded from OpenStack and click 'Open'. You should also add a 'Key passphrase' at this point to use when accessing your private key and then click 'Save private key'.
This private key can be used with PuTTY to connect to a VM that OpenStack injects with the matching public key under the 'Key Pairs' tab under the 'Access & Security' tab when launching a new VM. You can read more about connecting using PuTTY or MobaXterm.

On Windows, you can create SSH keys in many ways. This document explains how to use two SSH applications, PuTTY and Git Bash.
Mobaxterm Professional Key
Joyent recommends RSA keys because the node-manta CLI programs work with RSA keys both locally and with the ssh agent. DSA keys will work only if the private key is on the same system as the CLI, and not password-protected.
PuTTY
PuTTY is an SSH client for Windows. You can use PuTTY to generate SSH keys. PuTTY is a free open-source terminal emulator that functions much like the Terminal application in macOS in a Windows environment. This section shows you how to manually generate and upload an SSH key when working with PuTTY in the Windows environment.
About PuTTY
PuTTY is an SSH client for Windows that you will use to generate your SSH keys. You can download PuTTY from www.chiark.greenend.org.uk.
When you install the PuTTY client, you also install the PuTTYgen utility. PuTTYgen is what you will use to generate your SSH key for a Windows VM.
This page gives you basic information about using PuTTY and PuTTYgen to log in to your provisioned machine. For more information on PuTTY, see the PuTTY documentation |

Generating an SSH key
To generate an SSH key with PuTTYgen, follow these steps:
- Open the PuTTYgen program.
- For Type of key to generate, select SSH-2 RSA.
- Click the Generate button.
- Move your mouse in the area below the progress bar. When the progress bar is full, PuTTYgen generates your key pair.
- Type a passphrase in the Key passphrase field. Type the same passphrase in the Confirm passphrase field. You can use a key without a passphrase, but this is not recommended.
- Click the Save private key button to save the private key. You must save the private key. You will need it to connect to your machine.
- Right-click in the text field labeled Public key for pasting into OpenSSH authorized_keys file and choose Select All.
- Right-click again in the same text field and choose Copy.
Importing your SSH key
Now you must import the copied SSH key to the portal.
- After you copy the SSH key to the clipboard, return to your account page.
- Choose to Import Public Key and paste your SSH key into the Public Key field.
- In the Key Name field, provide a name for the key. Note: although providing a key name is optional, it is a best practice for ease of managing multiple SSH keys.
- Add the key. It will now appear in your table of keys under SSH.
PuTTY and OpenSSH use different formats of public SSH keys. If the text you pasted in the SSH Key starts with
—— BEGIN SSH2 PUBLIC KEY
, it is in the wrong format. Be sure to follow the instructions carefully. Your key should start with ssh-rsa AAAA…
.Once you upload your SSH key to the portal, you can connect to your virtual machine from Windows through a PuTTY session.
Git Bash
The Git installation package comes with SSH. Using Git Bash, which is the Git command line tool, you can generate SSH key pairs. Git Bash has an SSH client that enables you to connect to and interact with Triton containers on Windows.
To install Git:
- (Download and initiate the Git installer](https://git-scm.com/download/win).
- When prompted, accept the default components by clicking Next.
- Choose the default text editor. If you have Notepad++ installed, select Notepad++ and click Next.
- Select to Use Git from the Windows Command Prompt and click Next.
- Select to Use OpenSSL library and click Next.
- Select to Checkout Windows-style, commit Unix-style line endings and click Next.
- Select to Use MinTTY (The default terminal of mYSYS2) and click Next.
- Accept the default extra option configuration by clicking Install.

When the installation completes, you may need to restart Windows.
Launching GitBash
To open Git Bash, we recommend launching the application from the Windows command prompt:
- In Windows, press Start+R to launch the Run dialog.
- Type
C:Program FilesGitbinbash.exe
and press Enter.
Generating SSH keys
First, create the SSH directory and then generate the SSH key pair.
One assumption is that the Windows profile you are using is set up with administrative privileges. Given this, you will be creating the SSH directory at the root of your profile, for example:
![Ssh Ssh](/uploads/1/2/6/0/126068751/229405235.jpg)
- At the Git Bash command line, change into your root directory and type.
- Change into the .ssh directory
C:Usersjoetest.ssh
- To create the keys, type:
- When prompted for a password, type apassword to complete the process. When finished, the output looks similar to:
Mobaxterm Generate Ssh Key
Uploading an SSH key
Generate Public Key From Private Mobaxterm For Windows
To upload the public SSH key to your Triton account:
- Open Triton Service portal, select Account to open the Account Summary page.
- From the SSH section, select Import Public Key.
- Enter a Key Name. Although naming a key is optional, labels are a best practice for managing multiple SSH keys.
- Add your public SSH key.

When Triton finishes the adding or uploading process, the public SSH key appears in the list of SSH keys.
